Der Unterricht mit Bild und Film. Mit einem Verzeichnis der Lehrfilme und Bildreihen des Heeres. Vom. 1.8.1944. (H. Dv. 40). [=Teaching with picture and movie. With a directory of educational films and image series of the army].
Octavo. Pp. 230. Text figures, tables, model forms, notations space. Original printed wrappers, spine bit frayed in places, old institutional stamp to title. In about fine condition. Excellent copy, practically unused, some leaves still unopened. ~ First edition. Extremely scarce. One of the rarest of all Wehrmacht H.Dv. publications. An indispensable source of information on military educational cinematography used during WW II. Divided into two main parts, the book is a guide to the principles of the making and the use of cinematography for military education, and a catalogue of all such available films used by the Wehrmacht at the time of publication. The greatest part of the book, some 200 pages, comprises of a very detailed catalogue of all Wehrmacht educational films, divided into several subject- and search groups. It lists in considerable detail hundreds of films and image series by title, subject, category, date, duration, etc. with a brief but comprehensive description of the contents. Length of films in meter and minutes is given, as well as variations of small- and large formats. Extensive categorizing system is applied with cross references. There are chapters dedicated to all films for the use of individual Military Branches: infantry, artillery, pioneers and field engineers, armour, signal corps, supply and logistics, smoke and gas defence, railway pioneers, sanitary, technical troops, etc. Films for special circumstances such as mountain war, winter war, desert and steppe war, etc. General military education films such as military history, espionage, antiaircraft defense. And miscellaneous films such as politics, current international affairs, foreign armies, science, etc. The material is listed by title and subject as well as by item number. The first part of the book is an introduction of the principles, terms, technique, and implementation of image and film in military education. It is clearly intended for the use of rank officers who might commission or use such a film. This part explains the essence of combining words and images, story board, wall- and table displays, photography, principles of projection of transparencies, working on light table, editing and montage, the various film sizes i.e. 16mm, 35mm, and medium- and large formats, motion picture, sound, etc. It later discusses the implementation of the film in education, the projection room, design and production of films and slideshows, managing an archive, etc. etc. Issued for the use of the higher echelon at the regimental level, this guide has been published in a limited number of copies. Hardly any survived. OCLC locates a single holding in Germany, that in Universität der Bundeswehr München.

Rare Nazi Concentration Camp Artifact: Metal Slave Laborer Registration Card, found on location in the soil of a former Mittelbau-Dora satellite camp. Embossed with Inmate Personal Details.
Metal registration card, measuring ca. 6x13 cm. ~ An extremely rare archaeological find of a Nazi Period artifact. Found on location at one of Mittelbau-Dora satellite camps. This metal Nazi Concentration Camp Slave Laborer Registration Card is hardly ever seen outside a display at a museum. These cards, by definition, never left the administration of the concentration camp in which they were kept and after liberation moved to the custody of the memorials and the museums. In contrast, the "Arbeitsbuch", the personal identification document of the slave laborer, was carried by inmates into their liberation and consequently is to be found in abundance on the market even generations later. The metal card was found on location in the soil of the former Mittelbau-Dora satellite camp. It is embossed with full details of a particular inmate. A special machine was needed for producing this. The writing remains almost perfectly legible. The general condition is good for an excavated item, the corrosion, patina, dust and soil remained untouched and bear witness to the period. Reaching far beyond the value of a single collectible of Nazi memorabilia, this artifact is an archeological piece of history and should be treasured as such. (The last photo shows a display of such cards at the Buchenwald Memorial Museum, from Librarium's collection.)

(ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR)
Scrapbook of Irma Cleveland Matron of the Order of the Eastern Star Triangle Lodge No. 548 Venice CA.
Los Angeles: N.p. 1930-1934. Scrapbook filled with letters cards printed announcements photographs and invitations put together by Irma Cleveland Matron of the Triangle Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star/ Original string-tied oblong album of buff boards with a laid down color illustration. The Order of the Eastern Star is a Masonic appendant body open to both men and women. It was established in 1850 172 years ago by lawyer and educator Rob Morris a noted Freemason and adopted and approved as an appendant body of the Masonic Fraternity in 1873. The order is based on some teachings from the Bible and is open to people of all religious beliefs. It has approximately 10000 chapters in twenty countries and approximately 500000 members under its General Grand Chapter. It is still going strong.Members of the Order of the Eastern Star are aged 18 and older; men must be Master Masons and women must have specific relationships with Masons. Originally a woman would have to be the daughter widow wife sister or mother of a Master Mason. The Order now allows other relatives as well as allowing Job's Daughters Rainbow Girls Members of the Organization of Triangles NY only and members of the Constellation of Junior Stars NY only to become members when of age. Irma Cleveland and her husband Harry to a lesser extent was very active in this organization. Basically this album covers 1931 to 1933 but there are at least 100 printed items. Apparently she rose to the rank of Matron highest rank possible in her Lodge of the Order of the Eastern Star; Triangle Lodge No. 548 in Venice California. But she was a busy gal as there are printed materials from Lodges all over Southern California: Coronado Santa Monica Palms Culver City Beverly Hills Ocean Park Long Beach and the Grand Lodge. There is an interesting original photograph of initiates going through the ceremony at the Long Beach Lodge. It is not clear what they are wearing but some kind of Greenman costume. Basically the Order of the Eastern Star was a way for married couples to become Freemasons together as the Scottish Rite etc. was just for men. N.p. hardcover

(ORDNANCE SURVEY) [under the direction of] YOLLAND, Captain
London and its Environs Reduced from the Skeleton Plans
Southampton: Ordnance Map Office c.1851. A very large large scale Ordnance Survey outline plan of central London over nine sections the dimensions of the each part of the plan c.61 x 91 cm thus c.183 x 273 cm if joined. Scale: 12 inches to one mile. Marbled paper to each of the folded end sections brief old manuscript titles to both sides of each part also the respective OS sheet numbers and a sequencing number in the same hand. The parts housed in original browned purple cloth slipcase with old printed catalogue description pasted to one board. Spines and lower edge of slipcase neatly restored a few marks to boards. The plans in very good condition. The sections are: A.1. St Johns Wood; A.2. Battle Bridge; A.3. Hackney; B.1. Kensington; B.2. Westminster City &c.; B.3. Docks; C.1. Chelsea; C.2. Kennington; C.3. Old Kent Road. The set comprises sheets 12-14 19-21 and 26-28 of the overall issue of forty four sheets. Covering the central zone only it is complete in itself the age of the slipcase and the catalogue slip on the upper board suggesting that it was always thus. Howgego notes that the full version extends from Tottenham down to Tooting and Barking across to Hanwell. The imprints to the plans variously state that the surveys on which they are based commenced in 1848 and were completed in either 1850 or 1851. Being a skeleton map the plan features only the roads and streets though also the altitudes all other extraneous details were excluded. The map was often used for official purposes and being pared down could be adapted and embellished to different uses. Howgego 413. Southampton: Ordnance Map Office unknown
